So, I’m thinking it actually might be all original maybe 1975 era. Early-mid 70’s Colt use the Bell and C FSB and the Chrome Bore roll marks came along 75-76 ish and there was no forge code uppers in that same time frame. Without a BCG, charging handle, port door and handguards  I’d value it between $700-900 depending on the person and day.

Does anyone know what a mint Colt Car locking ring goes for? I saw a few listed around $50 a few years ago, but I'm not sure how accurate that was.

I have a SP1 carbine that I got back in the 80's. I shot it but never modified it. I think it is all original. What is the value? I believe it was made in approximately 1981.
Thanks for your thoughts, Steve

I am having trouble posting pictures, so how do I post photos? I am not real computer literate. Thanks

I can email them to someone who might be able to post.

I have been offered a COLT N 1 Carbine Stock from a friend.

I would say in VG condition, the Checkering on the Butt is still crisp.  No digs or scraps.

Sorry no pic's yet

I DON'T think the 6-Position Buffer Tube is Colt, but it fits very Tight, and the stock slides very smoothly, with no wobble.

So, what do these go for today?

He is asking $100.

Thanks in advance.

The 6 position tube is commercial, Colt used 2 then eventually 4 position for the most part. $100.00 for just the N marked stock body? That's like top price for excellent condition +, I'd offer $75-80 if you got to have it. That commercial buffer tube is dime a dozen parts bin, maybe $10-15. Who knows though, maybe in a year or 2 they will double in price so try to come together on a price, will he negotiate? I guess if you want the commercial tube with it, $90.00 isn't too far fetched.

Your stripped Lower Receiver Alone is worth $1500.00 or more to Connecticut and Massachusetts because it's pre ban. Look like your Fire Control Group is Colt and likely the entire Lower small parts is.

You asked of approximate value of parts and how much would we pay for it in your post. If your barrel is Colt, your looking at $2400.00 in parts value including the lower receiver, I'd have no problem paying $1500.00 for that gun in the wild knowing I could turn a profit on the lower alone.

I haven't torn out the barrel, so I'm not sure what it is to be honest. I did verify that all of the internals are mil surp Colt. The FCG, the BCG, and the buffer assembly are all Colt.

The upper is definitely a Martin Marietta mil surp, the stock is a later Colt stock, and the hand guards are Colt m16a2 hand guards. It also has an m16a1 grip on it now. I just need to verify the barrel. Definitely a nice piece of history! Now to decide what I want to do with it 🤔

Upper - 275.00 - 300.00

BCG 150.00 - 180.00

If selling all to the same person I'd do like $425.00 - $450.00 or something plus shipping.

It's only worth a premium if it's verified preban to CT and MA, if it is your looking at 750.00 - 1500.00 depending on brand, buyer, etc. To most other states it's not worth much more than any other receiver, it's a win-win for you and guys behind the lines if you decide to sell it.

What are Norinco manufactured A1 uppers worth? This one came off a M16A1ish clone and def has that been there done that appearance to it.
Not so sure USGI purists would find much value in it, however someone wanting to make a clone of a Norinco M16A1 (clone of a clone lol) might be interested.

If you email me with a few more detailed pictures of the barrel markings, and a little more detailed info on which barrel is on each upper I can give you better pricing but about $800.00 per upper without bcg and charging handle is about right. I'm confident that you'd pull more than that parting them out because upper recivers are hot right now and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of yours fetched $350.00 +

ETA : The 20" uppers appear to be home builds because the receivers are significantly older than the barrel markings you provided.

Not very likely, you have late 60's receivers on your 2 20" with one having a later delta ring, mid 70's to 80's barrel and a mid 60's 3 prong. The good news is you have all USGI parts except for the SP1 big hole upper, you'd be best served to part them out.

I recently acquired three rifle length barrels with FSP. triangle retainer, barrel nut, sling swivel. The tops read 3S679 MP 5.56 NATO 1/7 and FNMI MP 5.56 NATO 1/7. They have a nice patina to them, rifling looks good. I can text someone pictures if they need to look at them. Just wondering on what they are worth for a fair price, even to give someone a deal, prices people are charging for stuff these days is out of control. Thanks

They are both FN barrels, your probably looking at $350.00 to $450.00 each depending on condition, I'd ask a little more for the FNMI over the 3S679 cage code if the conditions are similar.

Have five sets of six hole carbine handguards left, single shield.  I think they are Colt but not sure.  One set is new in the plastic bag, but the rest seem like new and or lightly used - gas tube black powder on the inside heat shield, no damage.   They are all the same, made of some type of material nicer than the old carbine handguards that came with a Bushy back in the day.  Doe these go for anything?   They have a ridge on one side and an indentation on the other.  

I like the way they feel though, but MLOK they are not.

I found this link, checking,

https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Comparing-Colt-Carbine-Handguards-Big-Pictures/123-491991/

They all check out colt.  

1 set NIW
3 sets excellent
1 has a scratch on one of the ridges because I used it on my AR until I scored some M4 double shields.

If they are Colt, your looking at $75 - $100 per set depending on condition on the 4 take off sets. Might need better pictures to 100% authenticate them as all Colts, but looking good from what I see. I've sold NIW 6 hole Colts for $125.00 during the panic, so you might be able to get something close to that for them.

Howdy, trying to price some parts for an old friend who was an Army armorer from the 1960's to the 1980's. This stuff has been boxed up in his shop for 30 years, some of the stocks were coated in dust, the 601 charging handles wrapped up in old paper. He was planning on taking the parts to some local shows later in the year, but didn't want to sell in bulk as he had been burnt before by some resellers. [Uppers and carbine stock already gone]

Need help with prices for original:
-A1 3 prong flash hiders
-A1 full cage flash hiders
-601 charging handles
-Slip/Delta rings
-A1 stocks (Types D and E)
-5.56 marked Colt mags
-.223 marked Colt mags






Thanks in advance for any help with current market pricing!

FIRST, I’m not sure if I am even thinking or planning to sell them anytime soon, but if I did, down the road, I’d sell them them within the EE section. I will not reply to any IMs to this thread asking if I am selling them.  I’m not hard up for money or anything, I just have a ton of stuff floating around the garage that I’d like to know their current non “Gunbroke” prices.

IF THIS IS A VIOLATION, PLEASE DELETE SINCE I’M NOT TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE HERE!!

This is an appraisal request for two NONE ORIGINAL AR-15 retro items.

For the first item, I bought a couple of slick sided “retro” AR-15 stripped upper receivers from Fulton Armory about 8-9 years ago and I have an odd question on them.  First they’re newer production, well newer when I bought them years ago, but on the left side of those receivers, where the charging handle “claw” locks into position, it is only milled out into a proper sized circle WITHOUT the mill cut going all the way upwards like on my other Colt and NDS slick sided and A1 upper receivers.

Were these upper sold as seconds? I honestly don’t remember them being sold as possible rejects.

They have the cut “A,” forging code, which I believe is for Anchor Harvey Aluminum manufacturers on the right side of the carrying handle and they are not anodized. They appear to have a flat BLACK cerakote or duracoat type finish on them.

As for the second question, I have a couple of Brownells retro AR15 “Proto” barrel assemblies with the front sight base that were sold as seconds, but “I” cannot find the flaw(s) that made them seconds. Anyway, I bought them about two years ago, at the peak of the pandemic of 2020.

None of them have been used or assembled. What would be the going price on these items?  

Thanks!!

Interested in the value of a Colt R6550 Govt Model with bayo lug.  Basically NIB but without the box or accessories and appears to be unfired other than from the factory.
